*~*September 2007 CLA/GLA * ~*

[Twitime]

Hi guys! Sorry to butt in, but I've been reading your thread and trying to learn about the combo and am going to try it. I actually bought the Borage Oil today at Walmart and just ordered the CLA on line. It will probably be at least a week before I start it, I thought I'd like to get rid of some of these pounds first because I've heard the actual weight loss may stop. But I guess what matters is how we look, not the number on the scale!
Do you HAVE to exercise a lot for the combo to work?
Anyway, I will keep lurking here and try to learn as much as I can from you!
Thanks and ongoing success to you all!

lady_bug, (<-----love this lil guy ) Welcome to this thread and to LCF's. Glad to have you join us. Did you check the back of the borage oil to see the actual gla content? thats what you go by. Your correct about the liquid cla. Just 1/2 Tbsp a day. I was really impressed at how well this combo worked on my back fat. I hope you have the same results too. Post often so we can get to know you and share your results please

PalmTreeGal, have you tried it in milk? It makes it a little sweet but not bad at all. Love my lil plastic 1/2 Tbsp . Thanks for checking in

eddiesgal, your right on top of things

OK, I shouln't say anything yet, and not gonna claim it yet, but I just gotta tell y'all !!! I weighed in today at 194 !!! That 7 pounds in 2 days !!! I love how this combo makes you lose the regain so fast

Welcome Twitime (<---hehe get to use him again) Sorry I missed you in my last post. We must have been posting at the same time lol. Glad your joining us too. Don't be afraid to start the combo. Yes it does cause a scale stall, but you do get occasional whooshes where the scale will catch up, and the melting inches is well worth the wait . Dont be a lurker, jump in here and share your results please . We'd love to get to know you. I have a friend in Lake Havasau (sp?) Arizona

Oh, about the exercise. Its always best to add exercise to firm as you lose, but I dont do any except an occasional walk and hike when we go to tennessee. I highly recommend adding some form of exercise to tighten up as you lose. Dont want saggy skin now do we !!!

[Twitime]

My skin is ALREADY saggy! lol! It's the age thing and lack of exercise. I hate to do it, I hate to sweat, but now that our Arizona weather has calmed down a bit, I have been walking every single morning and I am so proud of myself for that!
I should get my order from Netrition next week so when I do I will be a "user" like you all!

Don't worry about me being too shy to jump in...I'm a blabbermouth! I find that posting and being in certain groups is so helpful! There is so much advice and support. and a great way to make some new friends!

[Twitime]

On the back of my Borage oil it says nothing about the GLA content, just Borage oil and Vit. E. and just like some others here, I got it at Walmart and it's 500 mg so I would take 2 right? Or am I screwed since it doesn't mention GLA?

okay upon looking it up on Netrition, I think we're okay....

[kycowgirl]

Twitime, walking is good I'm proud of you too

I owe...I owe...so its off to work I go

seeya all tomorrow

[sazzie]

Hi Trisha and all,

Finally got the OK from my doctor to get back on the combo.....ever so happy that he took the time to read the research I gave him.

Now to order more of the combo from Netrition.

[tinatina]

wooohoooo, pick my combo up last night and back on today!

[Twitime]

Keep posting on your results, okay? Also can you all give me a rundown of what time, what intervals, or whatever that you take them. Like once a day or spread it out, etc.?

I'm excited to try them.

[lady_bug]

kycowgirl,
My borage oil does not mention GLA. It must be the same Walmart kind that Twitime got. It just says 15 mg Vit E oil and 500 mg borage oil. I did not get my CLA yesterday , but should get it today for sure. I am so feady to get rid of the flab!!

[Twitime]

yea ladybug, same stuff I'm sure, 500 mg. and super cheap huh? Like $3.27 or something! I'll get the other stuff next week, you know, UPS the cheapest way, 3-5 days.
I'm excited too, I just couldn't imagine my life without my "Saddlebags"! Do you think they will really get smaller?? Woo Hoo! How cool would that be?

[lady_bug]

I hear ya Twitime..I am excited to start..I am praying my CLA gets here today. From what if read, it looks like we need to take at least 4 of the WallyWorld GLA..I read they have 120mg of GLA each and the recomended dosage in 460mg I believe. I will be ordering them from Netrition from now on..which i would have known before I ordered the CLA from them..could of saved on the shipping
Oh well...Hope we both get grate resutls!!

[Twitime]

Mine just say 500 mg of Borage oil so I assumed since we need 1,000 per day, I would take 2? On the side of the bottle it says it's derived from GLA but doesn't break it down to a smaller mg amount.

i thought about the shipping thing also, I almost went back and ordered 2 bottles of the CLA but I thought I'd wait and see if anything started happening. I have wasted lots of money in the past on diet miracle pills, etc. and didn't want to get suckered in again! If I see results, I will be hooked, but only time will tell! Well it can't hurt ya anyway, the Borage Oil is for healthy skin and nails and we could all use that!

Is your brand "Sping Valley"? 500 mg? if I need to take 4 I certainly will!

[lady_bug]

Yeah..mine is Spring Valley.. I am confused about the number to take. Maybe I will start with 2 and see how it goes.

[Twitime]

That's what I'm going to do. Did you get the shipment?

[kycowgirl]

woohoo sazzy, thats just snazzy . Looking forward to seeing your results this time

tina, Yeaaaaaa !!!! Glad you picked them up

Twitime, I am so bad about remembering to take my supps, so I take them all right before I eat breakfast or I will forget. Some split them up through the day with meals. I don't think it matters much as long as you take your full dose each day (someone correct me if I am wrong)

lady_bug, I'm trying to remember how many of the walmart brand to take but having brain freeze here. You could go back to the original cla/gla thread and read over it. It has a wealth of info and progress pics.

Heres some of the threads that started it all

How is the CLA/GLA going?

CLA/GLA Progress Pics

[kycowgirl]

Still 194 today...so I am claiming it !!!!!

[mikkimouse]

Hiyas!!!!!



Well congrats on all the weight loss. And thank you Kycowgirl. also welcome back!

I didnt measure last weekend but it was that bad time us poor women have to go through.... I will measure this weekend

What is the difference between taking the borage oil and the flax seed oil?
I will keep you posted as the weight, Congrats to all of you!!!

[smileyface]

Hi Trisha. Glad you are back. I'm glad you had a wonderful time. It's always nice to get away for awhile. I was going to send you a message on Tuesday or Wednesday, but got to watching the new seasons on TV.

I'm really liking the CLA/GLA combo. I will be measuring on Saturdays. I didn't take it today. I really had a busy day today, which is really not an excuse. Just laziness ! My co-workers are noticing the difference. They say they can see it. Good for me !!!

To all others, I hope this is working for you. Best of luck to you all..

Deanna

[lady_bug]

Well tonight I took a half tbls of the CLA..it was sweet and oily...wonder how many carbs it has???? and took 2 of the wallyworld borage oil..not too bad..it's worth the try..my friend was giving me the whole "you were suckered into another scam" but I believe this will work after reading the positive posts!!! What can I lose?

[pommie2]

Hello all, may I join you. I just discovered CLA by reading some of the threads in the main board. I got some CLA today, 1000 mg. but I see nowthat you all take a combo of CLA/GLA (borage oil). Will I get results with just the CLA or should I go and get the GLA also? Thanks for any info.

[CJane]

I started GLA and CLA about two weeks ago. I don't really measure, but after 2 weeks on this combo I am able to take my belt in another notch. Oh, and I was stalled for about a month and a half weight loss-wise, but after a week I was down three pounds! I won't weigh again until Sunday.

I've taken the last of my supply today and went to Walmart to replenish my supply only to find them out of both the CLA and Borage Oil. Must be a lot of people doing this in my area! I have to scour all the Walmart's in my area tomorrow now for some more, I guess.

Hope you don't mind if I join you here?

Go to the first posting in the thread-it has great info.

[Twitime]

Pommie2, I've read that they should be taken as a combo, I wouldn't even waste the CLA until you buy the Borage Oil, which is cheap (under $4) and Walmart has it!

Good Luck! I'm still waiting on my mail order of the CLA. Did you order it online or buy it locally?

[kycowgirl]

mikkimouse, the borage oil has the gla needed for this combo. The flax (which I also take) has the Omega Fatty Acids but no gla that I am aware of.

Deanna, what shows are you watching this season? We have our tivo all set to tape several of them. Biggest Loser, Survivor, and Dancing with the stars are our favorites. I'm going to do my measurements this weekend too.

lady_bug, I bet she changes her opinion when you start dropping sizes

pommie2, sureeeee you can join us. Welcome to the thread . The cla and gla work as a team. Best to take them both. Several have tried the cla alone with not results. Keep us posted please.

CJane, welcome to the thread. The more the merrier keep us posted on your results too

Twitime, did you order if from netrition? We always get our order in 2-3 days. I bought 2 bottles when it was on sale so I'm stocked

ok, wheres Miracle? You still with us?

Tom? Not seein any posts from you either Get those fingers typing Bucko !!!
